I hate to hijack this thread but I am having a similar issue and have tried following these steps. I am attempting a repair to my XP OS but continue to get the lsass.exe system error. I try to run the chkdsk but am also asked for admin password, though I do not recall setting one up for my pc (bought new in January 2007). I went into my boot menu and did a hard disk diagnostic, though this may not be same thing. At this point, when the pc reboots, it goes straight to restarting setup, then the lsass.exe error comes again.

Do I just need to do a complete reinstall of the OS?

Update: Got to recovery console but now i get msg that sys reg does not appear to have an active controlset key. the sys reg may be damaged. Followed by a msg about using last known good config or repair and recovery.
